A Taste of Ireland

The first day of our Taste of Ireland Tour was rough. Our flight from the US landed early Friday morning and the hotel rooms were not ready until 1300ish. That's not a knock against CIE or the Hotel though. It was an expectation on my part. Now I know better. Now, ... our Tour Director, Mark Ennis, was outstanding. He was fantastic. He kept us apprised of all the important things, as wells as the nice to know things on our trip. He was professioal and courteous. Our tour was a literal taste. It was informative and, if you love Ireland, sets the stage for the next visit. The trip was well organized and you were never in a position where you felt you needed so.ething else. So, needless to say. We are going to book with CIE again.

Trip of a lifetime!

Our guide/driver ( Sean Walsh) was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, efficient, entertaining. The selection of destinations was also excellent.

We had some issues with our airport travel, but a great trip with CIE Tours, when we got to Ireland. Our tour guide Tony was wonderful and informative, we highly recommend him, and in future tour will ask for him as our tour guide.

Second time traveling with CIE! Never a dull moment! We had an intense tour (Irish adventure) and saw so much.

A truly amazing experience and a great tour guide!

Tour was well organized and our guide/driver very knowledgeable!

Our travel agent worked with CIE and made all our arrangements. CIE was extremely professional and well organized. Murt O-Shea was extremely knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor! There was a schedule change during our tour and we ended up at Crosskeys Pub and it was a top notch establishment with good food and great entertainment. This was a preferred destination over the Belfast Titanic tour. The Ireland Adventure Tour is a great option for a first time visit to the island!!!

A tour you would be happy with.

Very organized, hit all the great places to see and left time for self exploration or additional rest. Only slight improvement is necessary.

Fantastic Guide, organized schedule, great hotel choices.

Not Applicable.

Wood definitely use CIE if we book another tour in the future!

The tour was amazing! Top notch hotels with great food and even better scenery. Onya and bob were fantastic guides through Scotland and Neive was a delight in Ireland. I couldn’t imagine any better of a coach driver/guide for Ireland than Greg. We couldn’t be more grateful for him coming out of retirement. His sense of humor, kind heart, knowledge and love of his country made our trip unforgettable. My wife and I can’t thank him enough for the memories we made with him and the rest of our group that we’ll have forever! Included is a photo of our tour group with Onya and Greg.

Awesome trip !!

The Tour was awesome. My trip was booked through Avoya Travel. I had originally contacted CIE through your web site but was contacted by Avoya . Eileen from Avoya was fantastic. Tony Keegan our bus driver was awesome. My wife and I had so much fun. The only knock I have is the choice of dinner choices. All the dinner menus were basically the same each night. The food however was very good. I would definitely recommend CIE

trip of a lifetime

Guide was excellent.

Amazing Irish Adventure Tour!

We cannot say enough great things about the CIE Irish Adventure Tour! It was the perfect tour for the first timers as well as the return visitors in our group. We were able to fully experience Ireland from Dublin to Waterford to Killarney to Galway to Derry and Belfast and back to Dublin. I still cannot believe how much we were able to do and see in eight days. We also can't say enough wonderful things about our bus driver and tour guide, Murt O'Shea. He was the absolute best, from getting us where we needed to be to sharing the history of Ireland and all of his funny stories. We'd definitely recommend this tour.

The tour, hotels, meals and coach driver were over the top fantastic!

Have traveled with CIE in the past and returned for this trip. The coach is always clean and driver , Greg, was wonderfully polite.

Wonderful trip. Our tour guide and bus driver were excellent. Thank you.

The online worked very well. The communications by email were a little slow. The trip was wonderful especially the tour guide and bus driver. Would absolutely need washroom on bus available next trip.

The tour itself was excellent! From the moment we were greeted at the airport, we felt taken care of. Our itinerary was busy, but we never felt rushed. Each day was carefully planned out to be demanding but not overwhelming. The tour guide was fantastic! Brian made us laugh, taught us history, regaled us with singing, and also took care of all the little details of life so that we didn't have to (moving our bags, arranging meals, recommending pubs).
